Sushikyu (すし久)
すし久
A century-old shop on Okage Yokocho in front of Naiku, famous for Ise's signature tekone-zushi made with soy-marinated bonito.
Sushikyu sits on Okage Yokocho in front of Naiku, in a wooden old building facing the Isuzu River. It is said to have been operating for about 180 years, and some of its building materials come from old timber from Uji Bridge. The signature is tekone-zushi: thick slices of bonito marinated in the house's sweet soy sauce, laid over vinegared rice made with locally grown Koshihikari. The bamboo set costs about 2,300 yen. On the first morning of each month, from 4:45 a.m., seasonal morning congee is served. Open 11:00–17:00. No reservations are accepted, and lines are common at midday during busy pilgrimage periods. From Uji-Yamada Station, take a bus bound for Naiku-mae, about 20 minutes, get off at Jingu Kaikan-mae, and walk 3 minutes.
Opening hours
11:00–17:00 (last order 16:30; subject to seasonal changes); last day of each month 11:00–15:00; morning congee on the first day of each month; open year-round
